Healthy Ireland Fund

A Healthy Laois is “where everyone can enjoy physical and mental health and wellbeing to their full potential, where wellbeing is valued and supported at every level of society and is everyone’s responsibility”.

The Healthy Laois Plan supports the Healthy Ireland Framework at local level, to improve the health and wellbeing of the people of Laois and recognises four interlinked goals of Healthy Ireland which are:

• Goal 1:  Increase the proportion of people who are healthy at all stages of life
• Goal 2:  Reduce health inequalities
• Goal 3: Protect the public from threats to health and wellbeing
• Goal 4:  Create an environment where every individual and sector of society can play their part in achieving a healthy Ireland.

Healthy Laois works to improve the health and wellbeing of all people living in County Laois, to promote healthy behaviours and to create healthier environments.

The programmes help people look after their own health and wellbeing and promote healthy lifestyles. We do this by working with Community Groups and Organisations in Laois and focus on the social determinants of health in Laois. These are are the non-medical factors that influence our health and include the conditions in which we are born, grow, work, live, and age, and forces and systems shaping our daily life.
